Transhumanism is the movement that embraces the opportunity to transcend humans’ physical and mental limits through new technology. Its most optimistic advocates predict a future in which death has been defeated through the power to reverse biological processes or offload mental states onto computers.

The Samford conference, funded by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation, will consider the ways the church might respond to Transhumanism and the technologies that could revolutionize our understanding of human nature.

Keynote Speakers will include:

Jeffrey Bishop, author, Chasing After Virtue: Neuroscience, Economics, and the Biopolitics of Morality
